Now they’re pulling dictionaries out of schools because a kid might stumble across a sexual term. And not because of an uprising from parents, but a complaint from ONE PARENT. And the books were pulled without consulting the school board. Just for the record, folks, there’s no such thing as a bad word. It doesn’t exist. It’s a myth created by fearful parents and ignorant people of faith. Words are not good or bad, they’re simply words.
Also for the record, when my parents were raising me, the same words were around, and just as accessible to any kid. The difference at that time was that parents actually, you know, PARENTED! The "F" word was used by my older brothers and sister, right in front of me, but I wasn’t allowed to use it. Seems strange, I know, to all you parents out there today who live in this fantasy land where children have the same rights as adults, but you can raise your children to understand that adults are allowed certain freedoms, which children are not. So it’s not about shielding your children from information, it’s about explaining the limitations children are bound by. Where the hell did all the parents go anyway??

The Menifee Union School District is forming a committee to review whether dictionaries containing the definitions for sexual terms should be permanently banned from the district’s classrooms, a district official said Friday.
The 9,000-student K-8 district this week pulled all copies of Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary after an Oak Meadows Elementary School parent complained about a child stumbling across definitions for "oral sex."
The decision was made without consultation with the district’s school board and has raised concerns among First Amendment experts and some parents.
